A lot of people say a lot of nasty things about New Jersey, and I don't get why. To me, New Jersey is in the discussion for the greatest state in the union. Consider some things:
- They gave us Bruce Springsteen. That alone should make them great.
- We're talking about a state that has bridges and tunnels directly into New York City, the capitol of American culture.
- They gave us Shaq. Yes, he's from Newark.
- They have bridges into Philadelphia, the city that birthed our nation.
- Atlantic City is amazing. The boardwalk and casinos are all lit up every night, the beach is clean, and there's no shortage of entertainment. Sure, in town a bit is a little rough, but that's life.
- They gave us Bon Jovi. Yes, the dude that owns the Philadelphia Soul.
- The Hamilton-Burr Dual took place in New Jersey.
- Rutgers, and New Brunswick in general, is a place every 20 something should party once in their lives.
- You can take trains to New York and Philadelphia from most of the state. Yes, real, live trains.
- Miss America is here, where it should stay. Who doesn't love Miss America?
- From Gateway National Park to Cape May, the Jersey Shore is as much a part of Summer's fabric as fireflies and hot dogs.
- Princeton- go there. What a cool little town.
- Naughty By Nature. If you actually like hip-hop, you know who they are. Jersey proud.
- Games and Concerts in the Meadowlands are a good time.
- I was born in Warren County, so of course I love New Jersey.
